Prospectus, For publishing in the town of Carrollton, Car roll county, Miss., a weekly paper to be enti . tied the Southern Pioneer , (by g. w. h. brown. ) TTNDER the above title of the "Southern Pio , U nekk," we propose to publish in the town of Carrollton, anew Weekly Paper, devoted to Politics, both State and National, Agriculture, the current news of the day, and the advancement of the great cause of Education. This paper will be devoted to what its conductor believes to be the best interests of the State and county. It will advocate the great Whig cause which you have recently seen so signally trium phant. Believing, that the principles put forth by the great Whig party as the tenets of its political creed, are the only true ones on which this Government was originally founded, and on which it should be admin istered, this paper will lend to those principles, when ever and wherever espoused, its hamble but cordial support. - No man or set of men, will be by us unscrupulously sustained at the expense of principle, 44Pkincipjles wot men," is our motto by this rule shall we be gov erned, and in subjecting all to this test, we shall as we find them, judge with impartiality, admonish with candor, and reprehend with justice. As humble Pio neers in the great cause of political truth, we shall ever point to the cardinal virtues of a representative Government. But, the interests of our State, and more particularly of our county, shall receive at our hands a constant and an earnest advocacy.- While our sister counties have been the object of Legislative action, and Executive patronage, the county of Carroll has remained comparatively unKnown and unappre ciated. It shall therefore be our pride, as well as our dutv. to develope its vast resources and point out its numerous advantages. The cause of education, the cause of enlightened and progressive civilization, the only true bulwark of a nation's freedom, shall receive that attention its importance demands, in nne, as humble Pioneers in the great crusade against igno rance and error, we shall shoulder our mattock and shovel, and taking our place in the great march of modern improvement, our course shall ever be as Mar mionsaid to Stanly, 'Onward."

Mr. Bayard of Delaware, from the select Committee appointed to take into considera tion the respect due to Gen. Harrison; the late President, reported joint resolutions, providing that the chair of the President of the Senate, and the seats of members be shrouded in black during the session, and that the members wear the usual , mourning during that time. The Resolutions also appropriate a sum for the re muneration of the expenses incurred by the late President. These resolutions were sub sequently ordered to be engrossed. A FISCAL AGENT. Mr. Clay then introduced a Resolution call ing upon the Secretary of the Treasury, to communicate to the Senate with as little delay as possible, the plan of such a Bank, as will, in his opinion, produce the happiest results, and lasting and important benefits to the coun try. Mr. Clay in offering the resolution, said he was induced so to do by the suggestion in the Treasury Report, that . a Bank might be crea ted which would reconcile the , conflicting opinions of all parties. Mr. Clay doubted the possibility of effecting so desirable a re sult, but was anxious, nevertheless, to see what plan the Secretary had. Mr. Woodbury read a portion of the Jle- Eort to show that the Secretary had doubts in is mind whether a Bank was constitution!. Mr. Clay said the criticism was hypercrit ical, but the Senator from New Hampshire would be relieved of the necessity for criti cism, if he would pass his Mr. Clay's Resolu tion and see what his plan was. Mr. Wright had two exceptions to the lies- olution, 1st, That it required the Secretary to report the plan of a Bank; and 2d, that it must be an incorporated Uank. Mr. Calhoun wanted the resolution to make wider scope, not to be confined to a Bank, but a report in extenso from the Secretary giving his views. Mr. Buchanan was very anxious to see this "fiscal agent," that was to work wonders and to bring about a millennium at once. The Constitution, he added, would trouble them as much whether the Bank was located m Wall street or the District of Columbia. After some modifications suggested by Mr. Rives, calling upon the Secretary for his plan of a fiscal agent or a Bank, the resolution was adopted. .. Mr. Clay submitted the following resolu tions: , : Resolved, In the opinion of the Senate, at the present session of Congress, no business ought to be transacted but such, as being ot an important and urgent nature, may be sup posed to have influenced1 the extraordinary convention ; of Congress, or such as th at the postponement of it might be materially detri mental to the public intercstv V Resolved, therefore, in the opinion of the Senate, that the following subjects ought first, if not exclusivelyr to engage the deliberations f n - . . f . oi uongress at tne present session, viz: 1st. The repeal of the Sub-Treasury. ; 2d. The incorporation of a bank adapted to the wants of the people and of the Govern ment.;v. .': . y-)'-":J 3rdl The provision ; of an adequate reve nue for the Government by the imposition of auues, ana incjuaing an auinonty to contraci a temporary loan, to lessen the public debt created by the last Administration. ": " ; 4th. The prospective distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. 5th. The passage of necessary appropria tion bills. :i 6th. : Some modifications of the banking systern of the District of Columbia for ; the benefit of the people of the District. . - Resolved, That it is expedient to distribute the business proper to be done at this session, between the Senate arid House of -Representatives, so as to allow of both Houses acting on the same subject at the same time. THE SUB-TREASURY REPEAL. The Senate then: went into Committee of the whole upon Mr. Clay's Bill to repeal the sub-Treasury. . : - Mr. Clay m a speech oi lengtn. expiamea his views upon the subject. If the sub-Tea- sury Act was repaled, the law of 1S39, and Ibio and ISJC woula oe, he thought revived. He preferred, however so-to amend his Bill as to repeal the last mentioned Act so far as it relates to btate Banks. He presumed there was no disposition to renew the system of de positing the revenues in State Banksand as all the disorder of the currency he hoDed would soon be sealed by the creation of a fis cal agent, he hoped his amendment and Bill would prevail. - Mr. Calhoun was willing to eo back to the ac ui iuu, iciiuiuuK me pavmem oi ine nevenue in uom ana Silver, but he was not willing to stop at the act of 1S36, for this, with the repeal of the act of 1839 would leave the public money under the control of the Ex ecutive head. Mr. Clay replied by a reference to the his tory of 1833, when Genl. Jackson removed the public money, and contended that the Secretary of the Treasury was the mere crea ture of the Executive power. The Whigs, he ;uiu, voiea ior me act ot as a halt way measure; restraining in part the Executive power, and it would soon be seen that Whigs weie uoi in lavor oi the union oi the purse ana me sword. Mr. Calhoun contended that General Jack son , declared in his Messages that the public money should be under the control of-Law, and the act of 1836 was passed in pursuance of such recommendation. Repeal the sub Treasury, and this act of 1836, said Mr. Cal houn, and Gen. Jackson claimed no power the Executive would not have. Mr. Rives then addressed the Senate in ref erence to the condition of the Treasury when tne deposites was removed: and in the course of this, and a subsequent speech, expressed a wish that nothing but a mere repeal of the sub-lreasury act w,ould now take place, leav ing to Congress further time to create such i system of guarding and managing the public money as in their wisdom they may devise. He objected to the repeal of the act of 1836, at mis time, and hoped Mr. ulay would occu 7y newirai grouna wunoui striking at tne fctate Uanks. Mr.Mangum was sure this Congress would not adjourn without placing the Revenue un der the control of law. Mr. Preston thought the only difference of opinion was as to time, as all agreed the .xec utive ouirht not to have entire control of the public funds. - Mr. Berrien of Ga., concurred in the view of Mr. Rives. It was due, he said to Whig consistency that the act of 1836 be not repeal ed so as to leave the public money under Ex ecutive control. ii Mr. Clay said he. would not urge his amend ment, though it was misunderstood. Then some explanation upon the effect of the repeal of the act of 1836 took place be tween Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, when Mr. Berrien expressing a wish for time to exam- me the sumect, tne senate near o o'ciock aa- journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, June 7, 1S41. After the House was called to order this mor ning, the Speaker rose and stated the difficult position in which he was placed, and reques ted the House to decide what rules the Spea ker should be governed by; either the Rules of the last Congress, or the Parliamentary rules of Great Britain. The discussion on the question of Mr. Wise, to adopt the rules of the last House of Repre sentatives for the government of this House, with the amendment of Mr. Adams, to reject so much of the 21st Rule as refuses to enter tain abolition petitions, was resumed by Wise, and continued by Mr. Adams, W. C. Johnson and T. B. King of Ga. Mr. Fillmore obtained the floor, and in a few remarks in which he alluded to the impor tant business for which the session was called, and after deprecating the tone of defiance and threat, which had been indulged in by the gen tleman from Georgia, moved the previous ques, which after a remark from Mr. W. C. Johnson, was decided to be out of order. . Mr.-Mallory moved that the House adjourn; when the ayes and noes were ordered ayes 56, noes 149; so the House refused to adjourn. The main question on the adoption of the amendment of Mr. Adams was then called for, and the question 'shall the main question be now put," was decided by ayes, 122. V : j Mr. Dawson contended that the main ques tion' was Mr. Wise's resolution to adopt the Rules of the last Housed and that the vote just taken cut off the amendments. Mr. Gilmer ' hoped no advantage would be . . i . r : ' . . 1 ' t . i . i. . i9Ken pi an erroneous impression, ana ne De lieved that the Speaker, had decided right, in making the amendment of Mr. Adams the main question. The question as so understood was then put ana oeciaea oy ayes 11. noes 1U4: so tno amendment'of Mr. Adams was adopted. The "question then came up on Mr. Wise's motion, who then rose and alter protesting a gainst the adoption of the amendment moved to lay his motion on the table. Washington, June S, 1841. IN SENATE. SPECIAL ORDER. - 1 he benate proceeded to consider the spe cial order, being the Bill to repeal the sub-Trea sury Bill. - ' . - ' ; ' The question being on the motion oi dir. Calhoun to amend the motion of Mr. Clay, amend the said bill by inserting a provision to repeal the act of 1836. Mr. Berrien said he was not yesterday sat isfied with either of the alternatives presented. If the amendment of the Senator from Ken tucky prevailed, we should be thrown back on the act of, 17S9. It Vould then be in the power of the Executive agent to re-establish the sub-Treasury, stripped of its Agents in tact the public money would be placed at the unrestrained discretion of the Executive agent. He regarded this question as set at rest by. the emphatic decision of the American people. The proposition of the Senator from South Carolina would have left lis under the opera tion of the act of 18.56, and to this he also had an objection. He had desired time to ex amine the subject. He then took a brief view of the arguments advanced yesterday on both sides, and ex pressed himselr dissatisfied with the result. On examining the act of 1836 he found that the first section provided that the becretary ot the Treasury might select a bank, but in case no proper bank could be found in one State, he might go to another State to find a bank legally qualified, which might be entitled a branch to receive the Deposites. 1 He tho't the ran?e of selection might be enlarged. If the Senate should leave the law of 1816 in operation, it might be so safely left with the modification of the Senator from South Caro lina. But the interval before the establish ment of some fiscal agent would, he trusted, be very short. Public opinion demanded the repeal of the sub-Treasury Act, and he hoped the Senate would not be disposed to disregard it. But he was hot willing to have the public money, even for that short period, under the control of an Executive agent. He was ready, however, to have it subject to the law of 1836. Mr. Walker ot Mississippi would not vote for the repeal of the sub-Treasury, nor for the re-estabhshment of a btate Bank system, to which the people of his State were bitterly opposed. There were but two Senators in Mississippi, he said, one for a United States Bank, and the other for the sub-Treasury, but there were none for the State Banks. After some further conversation between Messrs. Clay, Calhoun and Walker, upon the state of the question, Mr. ualhoun's amend ment to Mr. Clay's amendment was accepted, when both were voted down. So the Senate refused to repeal the act of 1836, which left the bill as Mr. Clay reported it. Mr. Clay said he would not commit himsel to a fleet of State Banks, and attempt to go on with them: , and he hoped that if the act o lb36 was renewed, much would be done to make it acceptable to the changed condition of the country. . A "long series of amendments were then submitted chiefly by Mr. Benton, which gen erally proposed to retain some particular fea tures of . the sub-Treasury act, but they were all voted down. When Mr. Benton proposed specially, and by. name, to forbid a deposit of the public money being made in the Bank of the United States, - ' " Mr. Clay replied that it would be as well to except any other Bank by name. He had no idea that the public money would be deposit ed there, but it was below the dignity of Con gress to except that Bank by name. A long controversy ensued upon this, when the prop osition was negatived, ayes 20, noes 28. In the centre of the debate, Mr. Buchanan said he should obey his instructions, and on the repeal of the sub-Treasury, very reluc tantly vote with the Senator from Kentucky. The Bui was then reported to the benate as amended, and passed ayes 30, nays 16, : When the benate adjourned. One of the arguments used by the Anti Bondites is, that the constitution and- the charter of the Union Bank being public, the purchasers of the bonds were bound to know of the violation, of the one and the illegality of the sale of the bonds under the other. We would ask these wiseacres how a foreign er could know this when after the passage of the charter the Governor signed the bonds and made no objection to their legality. If he was aware of the unconstitutionality ot the charter- then he and noi the purchasers acted fraudulently by causing the great seal of the State to be alnxedto instruments which he knew to be invalid. If the supplement to the charter rendered it all unconstitutional the Governor should have known it, and proclaim ed it then, and innocent; men would not have been ruined by confiding in the plighted but violated faith of Mississippi. -True Issue. t When the six new members from New Jer sey appeared at the desk of the House of Rep resentatives to take the oath prescribed by the constitution, loud applausearose from the galleries, which was only silenced . by the in terference of the Speaker.

GOOD NATURE ESSENTIAL TO HAP- - PINESS The great secret of happiness is a con ten ed mind. Peace of conscience, iike the sun, wm gud the dampest and the heaviest clouds with glorious hues. Whenever such a man wanders in the boundless empire of God, he carries his own happiness with him. In the thronged hotels, or on the thronrred nrvr. ment of the metropolis, in the motley assem- piage oi me caoin or aeck ot the steamboat; in the lonelv solitude ot the wilderness, or by the cheerful blaze of the settler's fire, he carries with him the same peaceful heart, and he same impurturble joy .

Public feeling in the West, at the present time, is lashed into a perfect fury. , Its workings sometimes re sembles the roaring of a mighty cataract; anon it is heard as the rumbling of distant thunder, and again it shakes the earth from the Missis sippi to the Rockey Mountains, like an earth quake in fetters struggling for freedom. When we tell The cause of this commotion motion motioa This side ot the ocean," it will be found but another illustration of tho old adage, that mighty events often originate in trival causes, and that men often succeed in carrying on an extensive trade in thft.way . of kicking up a d d fuss, though commen cing on a remarkably small capital. Exam ple: The editor of the People's Gazette, publish ed in Indiana, said or insinnated that J. C. Huckleberry stole a roller mould from the printing office of N. Field, of Jefferson ville, basing his opinion on the allegations of Mr. Field and the silence of Mr. Huckleberry relative to the imputation. . Mr. II. has since, however, flatly denied the charge, and says he never thought of stealing the roller mould. The editor of the People's Gazette, in the name of himself, on behalf of the people, and in the face of the whole world, retracts every woid he said prejudicial to the dignity of Mr. Huckleberry; but and we beg our readers to remark well this fact and dwell on its pro bable import Mr. N. Field utters not a word about the roller, the retraction of the editor of the People's Gazette, or the culpability or innocence of the much injured Mr. Huckle berry. The doubt on men's minds, therefore, waxes still stronger the mountain waves of doubt and uncertainty rise still higher, and it is left to that great Sybil, alone, time, to tell how the thing will eventually terminate.
